DISCUSSION: Eskom, SARS debacle

As Parliament wraps up its work before the holiday break, the spotlight has been on Eskom this week; from former CEO Brian Molefe’s R30-million payout in question, to two unsigned letters from two different law firms alleging to be representing Ajay Gupta, to chairperson Zithemebele Khoza taking the hot seat, and the presence of the Hawks in the room. Meanwhile SARS commissioner Tom Moyane has revealed that he reinstated senior tax official Jonas Makwakwa to his job while an investigation into whether or not he is guilty of tax avoidance or evasion is still underway. Patricia Williams – SA Institute of Tax Professionals – joins us, and from our studios in Pretoria, is Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse COO, Ben Theron.
